Technical Note: The “Discharge Only / Rechargeable” labels on this page are selection definitions for the current product specifications. Actual battery performance is also affected by the electrolyte, electrode structure, current collector, assembly pressure, operating current, and other material configurations. If your project has specific requirements for catalyst loading, membrane thickness, area resistance, or other parameters, confirm them against the documentation for the specific batch.
FAQ

FAQ

How should I choose between MnO₂ and Co₃O₄?
Under the current product specification, MnO₂ corresponds to the discharge-only option, while Co₃O₄ corresponds to the rechargeable option. Select according to the intended battery operating mode.
What is the difference between 10 × 10 cm and 200 × 1500 mm?
The main differences are the supplied dimensions and package quantity. The 10 × 10 cm format is supplied as 10 laboratory sheets per pack, while the 200 × 1500 mm format is supplied as one large-format membrane per pack.
Can the large-format catalyst membrane be cut to size?
Yes. It may be cut further to suit experimental requirements. Use clean, sharp tools and avoid scratching, creasing, or contaminating the catalyst surface.
Why are catalyst loading and membrane thickness not listed?
The current product information does not provide reliable values for these parameters. To avoid publishing unverified data, this page only lists the confirmed catalyst system, operating mode, dimensions, quantity, and price.
Are the two catalyst systems priced the same?
According to the current price list, both catalyst systems have the same price for the same size: 10 × 10 cm / 10 pcs is $22, and 200 × 1500 mm / 1 pc is $59.
